Total Immersion - Advanced Skills (Level 2)
Advance your freestyle/front crawl swimming to the next stage. Learn the fundamentals of effective propulsion using the catch and two beat kick. The workshop includes two pool sessions, presentations/questions and answers in the classroom and video analysis of your stroke in the morning and afternoon sessions. Please see important prerequisites under 'Who should take this workshop?'.
​
About the Advanced Skills Workshop:
Build on the skills you have learned as a Total Immersion freestyle swimmer - balance, streamlining, stability. We introduce the catch - the movement of the arm as it holds water as the body passes. And the two beat kick - which not only saves energy but also improves stroke timing, balance and streamlining. This workshop also provides an opportunity revisit and refine the skills learned at Level 1.
​
Who should take this workshop?
All participants must have already completed a Level 1 'Effortless Endurance Freestyle' workshop or a Total Immersion Weekend Workshop or have achieved comparable skills through one-to-one lessons with a certified TI Coach. Participants should be able to swim 50m freestyle crawl stroke without stopping and have comfortable breathing skills. Participants need to have mastered 'the patient lead arm' - meaning the lead arm remains in position until the moment of the 'mailslot entry' / weight-shift / rotation - this is essential for learning any catch skills.
​
What will you learn?
-
Two Beat Kick - minimises drag and turbulence and saves energy, but at the same time adds whole-body power to your stroke. The two beat kick adds to propulsion by driving your body through rotation into its most streamlined, minimal drag position.
-
Catch - creates forward propulsion by positioning your extended arm in place to trap the maximum volume of water. This helps to propel your body forward through the water — rather than pushing water behind you .
-
Review of Level 1 skills - balance, streamlining, arm recovery and breathing.
